I never consider payback time. I always get the best efficiency I can afford. My kids and<br>
potential grandkids get the benefits of my resource frugality.<br>
Money gets printed daily. Thus it's an infinitely renewable resource. My time is in short<br>
supply so economic theory says my work should have to pay more for my work.<br>

Your economic theory is hilarious/brilliant! I love it. :)<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>The talking heads keeps spewing that economic theory as reasons why the things _I_ want/need cost more so I just applied the same "logic" to the powers that be acquisition of my knowledge and effort. Seems fair. The more hobbies I have, the less time I have to work thus the more the boss needs to pay to induce me to work for him. : D<br>

I'm not rich, but I have always been rewarded by buying the best efficiency and/or quality I can possibly afford and taking care of them.<br>
They take care of me in return. I buy energy efficient things because it fits in my overall philosophy and view of what I should be doing as part of the world around me. We humans, Americans especially, tend to view things short term. I'm not a tree hugging nut, but I try to make good choices.<div class="">

I learned a saying a long time ago "The bitterness of poor quality remain long after the sweetness of the price is forgotten.". The more of this place I can leave for future generations to play with , the more fun they can have. I don't think I have any right to use up all the fun now just because I can.<br>
